New Game Release – Hungry Monkey
HeidelBÄR Games released Hungry Monkey, the latest card game in partnership with Czech Games Edition, into retail recently.
The lost bean! Once upon a time, Hungry Monkey searched for his lost breakfast bean in the jungle. He asked the other animals for help, from Swift Sparrow to King Tiger, but they all ignored his pleas. Until Tiny Ant climbed into Tiger’s ear and ordered him to help. King Tiger was scared by the voice in his ear. He commanded all animals to look for the bean, and no one dared to refuse.
Eventually, Swift Sparrow found the bean, and Hungry Monkey was finally happy. Hungry Monkey is a card game where the goal is to get rid of your hand of cards and collect beans. You have animal cards both in hand and in a face-down row. You must be the first to play all your cards, first from your hand and then from your card row. If you want to play multiple games you keep track of the scoring with Bean cards. The player with the most beans at the end of the last game wins.
In Hungry Monkey you have to play cards with the same or a higher number. You can trigger an effect with a powerful animal. Hungry Monkey is Ecofriendly. This means that it was made in a factory that uses only renewable energy and made from biodegradable or recyclable elements. The cards are lovingly decorated with independent illustrations.
Hungry Monkey is for two to six players, ages eight and up, and plays in around fifteen minutes. It retails for $17.99.
HeidelBÄR Games also previously released Blaze (see “Blaze card game“).
